5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Thriller Writing, 14 April 2006

By	E. Msechu - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Most Dangerous Game (Paperback)

I find the dialogue in the book refreshing, the attention to detail quite exciting and am glad to have bought this book.

Lyall has an uncanny ability to combine humor in the narrative with a sense of .., a sense of ..., shall we say unassuming knowledge? What I mean is, he presents tragic situations like a shooting in a humorous monologue yet devoid of the illusion that there's glamor in death...

Characters are described in details, the plot does twists and turns without the convoluted double and triple subplots so characterists of modern thriller writers.

Most of all, the ending is a perfect balance of fulfilled expectations and realism devoid of, on one hand, high-wire suspense or on the other hand, complete predictability.

A master-class in thriller writing, I would say..

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic ..., 13 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Most Dangerous Game (Coronet Books) (Paperback)

This early flying thriller from Lyall is a classic. There are few British authors who have succeeded in this genre, namely Shute, Lyall, John Templeton Smith and Brian Lecomber. Reading early Lyall is reading the best of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Let your imagination fly, 9 Aug 2004

By	Richard Bach - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Most Dangerous Game (Paperback)

I enjoyed the attention to detail in this Lappland based aeroplane thriller. I felt not only that I was there but also that I was curious to know more, which is impressive as I had never had any interest in Lappland or in boat planes before then. My only qualm was that the characterisation was a bit paper thin. The narrator talks to me in a chatty way that doesn't really convince, and the characters and especially the narrator are not particularly believable. I didn't find that the dialogue was much good. But my qualms are outnumbered by the thrills that the action gave me and the plot simply flew along - a lot more smoothly than the planes that feature in it.
